Aren't those letters in "Five Miles Out"?

(I almost typed ' Eight Miles High')

I thought that the GMOVJ registration code was unique to the plane on the 5MO cover. Evidently it isn't. :)

quick google search didn't help much. Just that registrations can lapse and re-used. Couldn't find a current registartion for G-MOVJ

The answer is 42 - but what is the question?

My guess is that this isn't an actual airship, but just an artwork done by an aviation fan who's also a Mike fan.

Golf Mike Oscar Victor Juliet.

This spells out GMOVJ, which is kind of the plane's licence number. Look at the painting on the album, you can actually see the letters on the plane. This is a callsign asigned to Scotland (The two first letters (GM) say that). Radio Callsigns prefix are internationally stablished and assigned each one to one country

MO stands for ???

;)
